Quality Wines by name and by nature - interesting off-beat wines, not cheap, but well worth exploring, and very knowledgeable staff to help you select. Can’t wait to return and explore more of the list! Food is tapas-style, great for sharing, narrow but interesting and entirely adequate selection, and absolutely superbly prepared and presented. Given how busy it was, those chefs did an amazing job. Well done! Staff are all young, energetic, knowledgeable and eager to help. Full marks. Well done!

The turkey porchetta is probably the best sandwich I've ever eaten. My only regret is that I only ordered 4 gilda.
